Upcoming Release: Buddy

Meet Buddy, a 16-year-old Carolina Dog rescue from the Deep South, who spends his days lounging in the home office of Jillian Warren Brown, Duke Web Services' senior project manager. He loves his family, treats, fleece blankets, and the same old threadbare dog bed he's had since 2006. This loyal senior pup has earned his place as our 2nd Quarter release of Fiscal Year 2023.
